Comment(by annakrat):

 Replying to [comment:10 torsti]:
 > This bug persists in a fairly recent grass7 on Linux. But it's really
 two separate issues: Unicode handling in the python GUI (lost of other
 tickets on that...) and the fact that the validity of the mapset name
 isn't being checked.

 When you create new mapset within the startup screen, it is checked (added
 1 or 2 months ago). I don't understand why g.mapset itself doesn't check
 it, it prints only warning but the mapset with illegal name is created
 anyway.
